The Tau Empire beta has arrived! If you own a copy of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, you can access the beta for free right away.

The alien Tau Empire has rapidly expanded across the galaxy, aided by highly advanced technology and a total dedication to the Greater Good philosophy.

Their fleets excel at long range, with powerful weapons dealing massive amounts of damage from afar. Skilled Tau admirals can eliminate the bulk of an enemy fleet before they can even get within boarding distance.

The Tau Empire has access to a wide array of upgrades and traits to improve their Torpedoes and Ordnances even further. They also feature all-new ships, castes and gameplay mechanics, as well as the unique Paths system.

Really? If I remember correctly Necron vessels are among the fastest ships out there, they don't use fighters or bombers and they generally fight using Lightning Arcs and Gauss Particle Whips. Where as Demiurg are slow and resillient fortresses with massed broadside weaponry and tons of strike craft.

And the Demiurg ships don't look very Tomb-Pyramid-Scythe like either.
